HERMITAGE - Marguerite V. (Penny) Slade, 75, formerly of Johnson City, TN and Memphis, TN, passed away January 15, 2021, while residing in Hermitage, TN.
Relocation costs will be paid by Memphis Greenspace.
The Tennessee Historical Commission was notified of the reinternment, in accordance with state statutes.
Descendants, about five family members in Forrest s and Mary Ann Montgomery Forrest s lineage, have been seeking a final resting spot for Forrest s remains for a few years.
Because no known person has a right or easement to the burial ground, which is now a park, the Shelby County court has jurisdiction in relocating the graves. The November court order also terminates the use of Health Sciences Park as a burial ground.
The descendants named in the suit and Memphis Greenspace agreed to relocate the remains to Columbia in a previous May settlement.

As Pat Kaczmarek walked through Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Washington County recently, she was startled to see a COVID-19 vaccination clinic underway.
She said she saw only clinic workers standing idly by. No one, it appeared, was in line to receive the vaccine.
Kaczmarek works at a grocery store and is at greater risk of coronavirus complications due to her age, 66.
